DERMAL FILLERS
Most fillers are based on the active ingredient hyaluronic acid, which is a natural substance found in the body and itself may improve the appearance of skin. Other fillers stimulate the body to produce collagen or are composed of collagen.
Bellafill®
Bellafill® (formerly named Artefill) is a cosmetic injectable FDA-approved for use in adults to improve the appearance of facial wrinkles known as nasolabial folds, or smile lines, and the correction of moderate to severe, atrophic, distensible facial acne scars on the cheek. Bellafill® is a bovine collagen-based filler and requires an allergy skin test before treatment. Treatment results are immediate and may last up to 1 year.
